Re: Career options after BCA. Should I go for a job or MCA?

Either of the options are fine. First of all you need to decide which area interests you. Also whether the BCA qualification is sufficient for securing a job as per your interest. If not then what qualification is needed to secure the job. It is better to join for the Masters course as you can specialise in the field of computer application. The chances of getting a good job is higher thereafter. If you have financial constraints then you can join for the job and pursue the MCA course part time. There are quit a few institutes like IGNOU, Bharathiar University, University of Madras which offer courses in this area. If you would like to go into the administrative role then you can consider taking an MBA. There are many institutes which offer part time and full time course. You will need to appear for the entrance exam to secure admission. Make sure that you pursue the course from a recognised institute.

Re: Career options after BCA. Should I go for a job or MCA?

After completion of graduation most of the students often face a dilemma in which they have to choose whether to go for a job or for higher studies. In fact, this is an easy choice if they have a clear idea about their career goals. There is no problem if the student wants to work after BCA and gain experience and later on go for higher studies. This will help them to set their priorities straight and come right back and continue studies if they want. As a BCA graduate, ensure to get a job in the similar fields of studies. This will help you later on while going for higher studies. You can choose MCA if you are interested in the computer field. MBA is another good option after BCA if you like management field.

First-you can join job.

Re: Career options after BCA. Should I go for a job or MCA?

Both of the options can be exercised if the expected success.iIn my opinion, MCA is the most appropriate option for a candidate who want to study further in this respective field.
But if you wan to go for a job then this option can also lead to a bright and successful career. because opting for a job would give you a lot of experience and expertise in your concerned field.
Just go ahead and make a bright and successful career by choosing from any of the two options.

Re: Career options after BCA. Should I go for a job or MCA?

If you have completed your BCA and want to study further, then I think MCA is the best option for you, because you have already completed your BCA and if you are interested to become a good software engineer then you have to go with MCA Course. After Completing MCA Course, You will definitely get good jobs in top IT Companies like Wipro, Infoysis, TCS, and others. These company will recruits the MCA Freshers Candidates with good starting salary package. So I think You have to go with MCA course and if you join this course, you will not face any difficulties because you have already completed your BCA and in MCA you will find most of the subjects same as BCA But you will learn in details. So, If you are Interested to make your career bright in Computer field, then MCA is the best option.

Other wise If you are Interested in some Other course then you can go with MBA course, If you are Interested to join some top MNC company Or starting your own business.

So, Please think and then choose course according to your own interest. But according to me MCA Is the best course for you.

Re: Career options after BCA. Should I go for a job or MCA?

In my opinion, you should go for further studies after completing BCA(Bachelor of Computer Application). Because of the reason that doing MCA(Masters of Computer Application) would further enhance your practical as well as professional knowledge. And the other reason is that you can increase your earning potentials after completing this course- for example a person who has completed MCA is more likely to get a job than a person who has completed BCA.

But if your family is in financial troubles, and want that you should support them , than in that case you can opt for MCA through correspondence mode.So, in my opinion you should first complete your MCA , and then you should search for a job.

Many of the multi national companies employ people who have competed MCA as such type of individuals have a lot of practical knowledge as well as skills to work in highly professional environment.
So, in my opinion, you should pursue your MCA as soon as possible as it is in great demand in the corporate world.

Re: Career options after BCA. Should I go for a job or MCA?

Dear friend,there are career options after BCA.
But,if you do your MCA,your job opportunities will increase a lot and you will also get more salary and a good job.
So,my advice for you is to do your MCA first and then join any good job.

Re: Career options after BCA. Should I go for a job or MCA?

hii, its always better to go to the higher studies, so its better you do MCA.Because many of the top mncs like the wipro,tcs,hcl,hp are asking the mca graduates, who all are having minimum 70% marks.
you can do the mca in good colleges like the amity ,sharda,ksou,jyoti nivas they are the good colleges will charge a mimimum fees of 30000.If you have any financial problem then you need to go for job, as many mncs are
looking for the BCA people too.

The career options for you are limited as you can either go for a job or for
Post graduate courses. And based on your graduation degree that is BCA ,
you won't get too many job opportunities . As the software companies and IT
companies mostly prefer BTech and BE (computer science ) or MCA 's, for
the post of programmer ,software devoloper etc.
So you need to study further and take admission in MCA, which will
enhance your chances to get such jobs. A nd will help you in
long term as it will help you gaining high level software knowledge also.

A Software Engineer Designs, Developes and Maintains software applications. The code that a Software Engineer is generally called programs. Software Engineers start their career as an Entry Level Trainee Programmer and then move on as a Programmer, Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, Systems Analyst, Senior Systems Analyst and then become a Consultant. The booming IT Sector has brought in a number of openings, particularly in the Tier-I and Tier-II cities.
